What are Monster Cores?
Monster cores are items that allow you to increase your stat. It is also the easiest way to gain some CP. You can farm monster cores by either fighting the mini boss monster or the minions around it. I suggest doing them while you are questing and farm monsters +/- 5 levels of you. This will give you good drops and also good cores. As for what to focus on first, I suggest the following:
- Damage Dealers: P/M Attack, P/M Defense, Crit Rate, Penetration
- Healers and Tanks: P/M Defense, Crit Resist, Max HP, Resilience, P/M Attack
Stat | CP Gain |
P.atk / M.atk | 5 |
P.Atk | 2.5 |
M.Atk | 2.5 |
Crit. Rate | 1.5 |
Crit. Resist | 1.5 |
P.def / M.def | 4 |
P.Def | 2 |
M.Def | 2 |
Evasion | 1 |
Accuracy | 1 |
Ignore P.Def damage
|
2.5 |
Fixed Damage Decrease
|
2.5 |
Max HP | 2 |
Max MP | 1 |
Penetration | 2 |
Resilience | 2 |
As you can see, any increase in Physical or Magical attack or defense gives the most combat power per stat. So when you are looking to increase your power, you can’t go wrong improving them.
Monster Core Table
Below is a table that tells you all the CP stat gains you get for farming a specific monster thanks to gamepedia. For world bosses, they are only available every 4 hours, so make sure to be there when they spawn!
